I meant that your post was funny. (If one laughs while drinking a beverage, it can sometimes exit through unplanned orifices.)Not G. Ivingname said:
US Snatches Pokemon World Championship from Japan

Oh, it just how you worded "I snorted coke on my desktop" sounded like it was... something else.Optimystic said:
Pretty interesting. I am slightly surprised that the winner wasn't some older dude who has been playing Pokemon since "Red" and training intensely for this day through every edition or something....
All I can say is "Booyah" America, and that it's kind of neat that they have a world championship for this.... I don't play Pokemon really, so I had no idea.

can someone please tell me in detail why nobody used a team that you would actually play the game with? I mean seriously, My little brother owns pokémon platinum with all 3 starters, Giritina,haunter and I think he ported over a blaziken and he could probably beat them
Because when playing the game against the computer, all you want is a team of six sweepers (fast, hard-hitting guys). In the competitive game, six sweepers is a quick way to losing because players can predict and outthink you in a way that the AI never can.Josh12345 said:
Typically, although for a few attacks/Pokemon, they want to attack second. Or Trick Room could be up. But, yeah. A good team would ideally use a mix of Sweepers, Tanks, and Walls. Look at me, speaking like Pokemons a sport =PEl_Moss said:
Ive been big into the competitive crowd, and Im kinda happy to see the USA grab the championship. Pokemon is my favorite series, it mixes friendliness with deep strategy. Not many games can pull off a game that offers a challenge to kids and adults; yet I still struggle with the Elite 4 on a new playthrough.
This is the first step. We got Pokemon, lets go for Soccer next, speed eating second, and finish it off with rebounding the economy. USA, USA.
You know, I've never liked competitive gaming, since it's mainly been socially maladjusted dullards trying to squeeze the fun out of games, but Pokemon has always to me been the worst, since it takes the great casual system of pokemon and turns it into an aggressive environment of psuedo-legendaries and abusive metagaming taking the colorful diverse world and reducing it to the 6 competitive entries.
Enjoy your victories you joyless freaks, my Snowlass may not be in your tier, but she's cooler than all yall.

But you still can see where my confusion came from.Optimystic said:That's why I said "keyboard" rather than "desktop."Not G. Ivingname said:
